A high school teacher in Northern California accidentally fired a gun inside a classroom Tuesday afternoon and injured at least one student.

The Mercury News reported that Dennis Alexander, a reserve police officer for Sand City, had been providing safety instructions at Seaside High School when he accidentally fired a single shot from a semi-automatic handgun into the ceiling, police said.

A student was hit in the neck by debris after the bullet ricocheted off the ceiling, but was not seriously injured, police said.

The incident was brought under control and classes resumed, but an investigation is ongoing, the Monterey County Herald reported.

"We're looking into any violation of city ordinance or the penal code and we'll determine whether or not there are any applicable charges," Seaside police Chief Abdul D. Pridgen said.

The Monterey Peninsula Unified School district sent out a letter to notify parents of the investigation and that Alexander had been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is underway.

Seaside is about 116 miles south of San Francisco.

In Alexandria, Va., a school resource officer accidentally fired off a gun inside a middle school while students were attending classes. No injuries were reported and the officer was placed on administrative leave for the duration of an investigation.

Administrative gun use in classrooms has been a contentious subject following the mass shooting at a high school in Florida on Feb. 14. Thousands of students across the U.S. are planning to stage walkouts Wednesday to raise awareness about gun violence in schools.

In four years, Kepler observed 150,000 stars, which gave astronomers more data than they were able to sift through. So they only focused on the 30,000 strongest signals and managed to discover 2,500 exoplanets. But this left 120,000 signals ignored.
Google researchers then trained their AI to search through the 120,000 unanalyzed signals. They fed the machine 15,000 examples of NASA-confirmed exoplanet data in order to teach it how to spot the characteristics of an exoplanet.
Google has now released that code on Github, along with instructions on how to use it, so the public can try for their own celestial discovery. However, aspiring explorers will have an easier time navigating the AI if they’re familiar with coding in Python and Google’s machine-learning software, TensorFlow.

Google has open-sourced their planet-hunting AI algorithm.

In December, NASA announced they had found two exoplanets hiding in plain sight. The discovery was made by a neural network trained to sift through data collected from the agency's Kepler spacecraft.

Kepler was launched in 2009 specifically to search for exoplanets orbiting around distant stars. Astronomers detect exoplanets based on changes in the brightness of stars. If a star dims for a short period of time, it's likely that a planet is passing in front of it.

"We hope this release will prove a useful starting point for developing similar models for other NASA missions, like K2 (Kepler's second mission) and the upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission," Christopher Shallue, the lead engineer behind Google's exoplanet AI, wrote in a blog post.

Shallue also wrote that he hopes this will encourage further analysis of the remaining Kepler data.

UCLA loses to St. Boneaventure

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 2018 NCAA Tournament is about to tip off. Pick against friends or go solo to compete for the trip of a lifetime.

The 2018 NCAA Tournament tipped off Tuesday night with two dandies in the first two of the First Four play-in games. Radford knocked off LIU Brooklyn 71-61 to advance to the first round, while St. Bonaventure did the same to UCLA, beating down the Bruins 65-58 as an underdog.

And here's a crazy stat: St. Bonaventure's victory on Tuesday is its first NCAA Tournament win for the program since 1970.

The Bonnies ended the streak by getting 26 big points from Courtney Stockard and forcing 20 turnovers, in what was a sloppy tip-to-buzzer showing from the Bruins.

"He played unbelievable," coach Mark Schmidt said of Stockard on truTV. "He's the reason why we won."

Schmidt dedicated the victory to former Bonnie Bob Lanier, a Hall of Famer who helped the upstate New York school reach the 1970 Final Four, but his injury in the Elite Eight victory helped prevent St. Bonaventure from reaching the national championship game, which UCLA won against Jacksonville.

#Bonnies coach Mark Schmidt opens his news conference by reiterating that this win is for the 1970 team that never got to play UCLA after star Bob Lanier's injury. "This victory is for those guys who didn't get an opportunity to show their talent," Schmidt said.

Radford 71, LIU-Brooklyn 61

LIU Brooklyn started hot against Radford, however the latter got hot down the stretch and distanced itself from the Blackbirds in a comfortable double-digit victory.

The Highlanders shot 47.5 percent from the floor and used a big night from Ed Polite Jr. and Travis Fields Jr., both of which scored 13 points, to fuel the double-digit victory. The former got things going early, too, with a monster slam to give them momentum in the opening minutes.

With the win, the Highlanders advance into the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament where they will face No. 1 seed Villanova on Thursday at 6:50 p.m. ET.

Owners of dog that died mid-flight in overhead bin

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A grieving family is speaking out after, they say, a United Airlines flight attendant forced them to put their dog in an overhead bin, where he died in flight. The 10-month-old French bulldog was kept there for the entire three-and-a-half hour trip from Houston to New York Monday. The airline has apologized.

United Airlines issued a statement accepting full responsibility for the incident, which it says is under investigation. Still, many are wondering how an experienced flight attendant could let this happen, reports CBS News' Kris Van Cleave.

"He was a really special dog. It's just sad the way he has to, just leave," said 11-year-old Sophia Ceballos. For Sophia and her mother, Catalina Robledo, Kokito was part of the family,

Robledo put the dog in a carrier but struggled to put Kokito's carrier under the seat in front of her. The family says a flight attendant insisted it go in the overhead bin.

"'It's a dog, it's a dog.' He can't breathe up there.' And she said, 'It doesn't matter, it still goes up there.... She felt the dog and she put him up there," Sophia recalled.

The family says they heard Kokito barking for two hours, then he stopped.

They wanted to check on him but couldn't.

"We tried, but there was a lot of turbulence. And we weren't allowed to stand up," Sophia said.

When the flight was over, they found Kokito had died.

A fellow passenger posted a photo of the dog, saying, "My heart broke with theirs as I realized he was gone."

"My mom was crying, she was just screaming, she was looking at him," Sophia said.

In a statement United says: "This was a tragic accident that should never have occurred, as pets should never be placed in the overhead bin. We... Express our deepest condolences."

Retired airline captain Denny Kelly says the pitch black overhead bin is dangerous for any live animal.

"There is no circulation at all in there," Kelly said. "They're scared, their heart rate goes up and they use more oxygen. And there's not enough oxygen in the first place, that just makes it worse."

Kokito's owners hope others learn from this death. The family says the flight attendant claimed afterward that she didn't know there was a dog inside the bag. She's been described as distraught.

The American Kennel Club says a French bulldog's short face can make its breathing less efficient. They stress easily, increasing their need to breathe.

Now I'm not the one to get into politics because it give me a legit migraine. BUT THIS TIME TRUMP DID IT!! AS you all may know I am one who looks heavily and has huge beliefs when it comes to health and nutrition. During Obama's presidency, Michelle and Obama came with a way to regulate school lunches to be healthier for children. Well Donald Duck the Trumpet and his administration has relaxes school-lunch nutrition rules in place of Obama and Michelles. So probably by 2025 there won't be a "big beautiful me" movement cause we'll all looked like car tires. This includes and major increase in salt content, sugar content, white bread among other types of bread, more options nutrient-dense food, meaning foods high in calories but low in nutrients, promoting kids to weight gain, heart disease, and many more other negative health effects.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More sugary chocolate milk, fewer whole grains, and around 300 extra milligrams of salt - these are just some of the ways the Trump Administration has relaxed school-lunch nutrition rules put in place during the Obama Administration.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who heads the US Department of Agriculture (the agency that sets school meal rules), has argued that the healthier meals fed to kids since 2012 have led some picky eaters to refuse more of the food offered at school.

"It doesn't do any good to serve nutritious meals if they wind up in the trash can," Perdue said in a statement posted on the USDA website in November.

But recent studies suggest that's not true, and that kids are now eating more vegetables and taking in less saturated fat at school (though the healthier lunches did take some getting used to).

It costs more to feed kids healthier meals, however. And with the administration set on major budget cuts - including spending less on programs that feed children, and slashing billions from their 2018 education budget - the cost-cutting effects of feeding children cheaper, processed foods may be a primary reason for the rollback.

Here's what kids across the country can get in the school lunch line under the Trump administration's relaxed rules:

Stephen Hawking died 55 years after he was only given 2 years to live.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Stephen Hawking, an award-winning physicist and influential author, died early Wednesday morning, a family spokesman told ABC News. He was 76.

Hawking, whose books included "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell," was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 1962.

The family did not disclose the cause of death, but said he "died peacefully" at his home in Cambridge, England.

"We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years," the family said in a statement. "His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever."

Hawking leaves behind his wife, Lucy, and two sons, Robert and Tim. They thanked his fans who have "been by Professor Hawking's side -- and supported him -- throughout his life."

Hawking was considered one of the leading voices in science because of his extensive research and work related to understanding the universe.

"I never expected to reach 75, so I feel very fortunate to be able to reflect on my legacy," Hawking said in a BBC interview last year.

Andrew Cowie/AFP/Getty Images

He made several major discoveries throughout his career, and once said said his greatest achievement was his discovery that black holes are not entirely black.

"I think my greatest achievement will be my discovery that black holes are not entirely black," he said, adding how that discovery would be critical to "understanding how paradoxes between quantum mechanics and general relativity can be resolved."

In a 2010 interview with ABC's "World New Tonight," Hawking was asked about the best fatherly advice he'd given.

"Here are the most important pieces of advice that I've passed on to my children," he said. "One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember is it rare and don't throw it away."

Here's timeline of Stephen Hawking's life, compiled by the Associated Press:

Jan. 8, 1942 - Born in Oxford, England, the eldest of four children born to Frank Hawking, a biologist, and Isobel Hawking, a medical research secretary.

1952 - Attends St. Albans School.

1959 - Receives scholarship to attend University College, Oxford, from which he graduates with a degree in Natural Science.

1962 - Begins graduate research in cosmology at Cambridge University.

1963 - Diagnosed with the degenerative nerve disorder ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, at the age of 21. He is given two years to live.

Jul. 14, 1965 - Marries his first wife, Jane Wilde, a modern languages student he met at Cambridge.

1967 - The couple's first son, Robert, is born.

1970 - Jane gives birth to a daughter, Lucy.

1974 - Elected as a fellow of the Royal Society at age 32, one of the youngest people to receive the honor.

1979 - Becomes Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, a prestigious position once held by Isaac Newton. Hawking holds the post until 2009. Jane gives birth to a third child, Timothy.

1985 - Admitted to a hospital in Geneva with pneumonia. He survives after an operation, but loses what remained of his speech. The next year he begins communicating through the electronic voice synthesizer that gave him his trademark robotic "voice."

1988 - Publishes "A Brief History of Time," a book on cosmology aimed at the general public that becomes an instant best-seller.

1989 - Made a Companion of Honor by Queen Elizabeth II.

1995 - Marries his nurse, Elaine Mason.

2007 - Divorces Elaine Mason.

2014 - Hawking's life is celebrated in the Oscar-winning biopic "The Theory of Everything," based on the memoir "Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen," by Jane Hawking.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Outrage has been building on social media over a picture of a family's French bulldog puppy, dead in its carrier, after a United Airlines flight attendant forced them to put the bag holding the dog in an overhead bin.

The dog belonged to a mother traveling with two young children from Houston to New York's LaGuardia Airport Monday night. Before takeoff, the bag apparently extended into the aisle. Online posts from witnesses said the passenger explained there was a dog in the bag, but the flight attendant insisted it go in the overhead. That flight attendant told the airline she did not realize the pet was inside.

United says this is a tragic accident that should never have occurred, adding "pets should never be placed in the overhead bin. We assume full responsibility for this tragedy and express our deepest condolences to the family and are committed to supporting them."

This month, United and Delta limited what animals are allowed in the cabin following incidents like a flier trying to bring on an emotional support peacock on board. But a small dog in a carrier that fits under the seat is typically allowed.

The airline says it's 'thoroughly investigating' to prevent a situation like this from happening again. Animal deaths on planes are rare, but typically occur when a pet is being shipped as cargo, not in the passenger cabin. Meanwhile, the dog's owner has not commented.

Donna Butterworth, a Golden Globe-nominated child star who worked alongside Elvis Presley and Jerry Lewis, has died at age 62.

Butterworth died March 6 in a medical center in Hilo, Hawaii, due to an unspecified illness, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Her death was made public on Tuesday.

Butterworth is well known for her role in the 1966 film "Paradise, Hawaiian Style." Butterworth was 10 years old when she co-starred alongside with the legendary Presley. She sang three songs in the movie including a duet with "the King."
CLAIRE FOY WAS PAID LESS THAN CO-STAR MATT SMITH FOR NETFLIX'S 'THE CROWN'
Butterworth spoke to The Hollywood Reporter in 2015 and gushed about working with Presley whom she called a "fabulous human being."

"Elvis was a fabulous professional, but he was also a fabulous human being, because he was so comfortable with everyone," Butterworth said. "He always tried to have a lot of fun on the set. So, the four months that we all were together in Hawaii and of course at Paramount studios in Hollywood, he was just a great guy to be around."

Butterworth was also known for her role in the 1965 film "The Family Jewels" which was written and directed by Lewis who also starred in it. Her role in the comedy led to a Golden Globe nomination for "Most Promising Newcomer."

The actress learned to play the ukulele at a young age and performed with Hawaiian legend Don HO. She also appeared in variety programs such as "The Andy Williams Show," "The Dean Martin Show" and "The Danny Kay Show." She also performed alongside Ron Howard in a 1966 episode of "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color."

Following her performance with Howard, Butterworth left acting.

The actress said she regretted not talking to Presley after his highly publicized concert "Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite." Butterworth was at the famous concert.

She recalled she was heartbroken after hearing the news of Presley's death in 1977.

"My first instinct was to run to my closet and grab my scrapbook and open it to the page where he and I were together," she said. "Then I just cried."

Later in her life, Butterworth was a professional singer, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported. She is survived by her mother and brother.

"We are lucky to live in a country that is relatively (civilian) gun-free, so it's not something our students have to think about," said Courtney Park, a teacher and librarian. "But they are aware of the school shootings in the USA, and some understand the greater contexts of the NRA and its influence in politics."

Some conversations included students' sense of "how lucky they are" that guns aren't a part of their everyday lives, Park said, noting that about a dozen of the school's teachers, plus the principal, are American.

Another teacher wanted to send the message to students and teachers in Parkland, Florida -- where a massacre a month ago sparked the walkout movement -- that they are not alone.

"This is not a problem in one school with a limited effect, said Pinckney Steiner, who teaches science. "The conversation is international and includes people of many nationalities. My hope is that the governors of all states, the representatives and senators from all states will listen to us and know that change is needed. The world is listening."

Israel

The walkout at Walworth Barbour American International School in Even Yehuda, Israel, was organized by three students, including Eduard Štrébl.

"I was inspired to organize this walkout because I watched the movement get born online and it moved me. It touched me deeply to hear about this," said Štrébl, a senior.

"I'm from Prague, Czech (Republic), and I'm not American, but to see an epidemic of school shootings in a developed country when it's so easy to limit such things, to see that there is nothing being done against that, that inspired me to organize the walkout here," he said.

Stephen Hawking has died at age 76 after living most of his life with ALS and making incredible contributions to science and technology.

Stephen Hawking, the famed theoretical physicist who defied a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to live virtually his entire adult life with the disease - in a wheelchair and paralyzed but making constant contributions to a world few could understand - has died at age 76, a family spokesman said.

Although Hawking may have been incapacitated physically, he managed to write books, including the best seller "A Brief History of Time," teach physics and mathematics, deliver speeches and even float in zero gravity, all while working in the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity.

He was not modest about what he wanted to do. "My goal is simple," he once said. "It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."

"My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is, and why it exists at all."

Hawking reached his eighth decade, but was forced to miss a scientific debate to mark his 70th birthday in January 2012 because he was discharged from a hospital only two days earlier. His personal assistant told the Daily Telegraph at the time his speech was getting noticeably slower, sometimes only a word a minute.

As part of the events surrounding his birthday, Hawking gave a rare interview to New Scientist magazine and declared there was still one puzzle left for him. Asked what he thought about most during the day, Hawking replied, "Women. They are a complete mystery."

In earlier interviews, Hawking was frank about his physical restrictions. "I'm sure my disability has a bearing on why I'm well known," he said in an interview with the BBC. "People are fascinated by the contrast between my very limited physical powers, and the vast nature of the universe I deal with.

"I'm the archetype of a disabled genius, or should I say a physically challenged genius, to be politically correct. At least I'm obviously physically challenged. Whether I'm a genius is more open to doubt."

Hawking was married and divorced twice. His first wife, Jane Wilde, was a fellow student at Cambridge to whom he was married for 28 years. He then married his nurse, Elaine Mason, whom he was with for 11 years before they separated.

He is survived by three children from his first marriage, Robert, Timothy and Lucy.

Stephen William Hawking was born Jan. 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. He had two younger sisters and an adopted brother.

Hawking developed an early interest in science and mathematics, and when he was old enough his father, a medical researcher, encouraged him to apply to Oxford.

While there, Hawking began his studies in physics, and developed an interest in thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

After graduating from Oxford, Hawking studied at Cambridge, where he was diagnosed with ALS. Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS is a fatal, motor neuron disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and atrophy.

He later said the diagnosis prompted recurring dreams in which he would sacrifice his own life to save others.

"After all, if I were going to die anyway, it might as well do some good," he said. "But I didn't die. In fact, although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before."

Shortly after earning his PhD, Hawking became a professor at Cambridge, working as a research fellow then a professorial fellow before becoming the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. That same position, which he held from 1979 to 2009, was held by Isaac Newton in 1669.

Hawking was awarded 12 honorary degrees and was elected one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society in 1974. He was later made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1982 and a Companion of Honor in 1989. He is also a member of the US National Academy of Science and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.

Hawking's research focused on cosmology and the basic laws of the universe. Along with Roger Pemrose, he applied a new model to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The model showed that space and time are infinite, and they would begin with the Big Bang and end with black holes.

He also concluded that black holes should emit radiation, and that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time.

Hawking was never afraid to voice his opinion, even if it could be considered controversial.

Using a mathematical basis, he said he was almost certain that alien life existed in other parts of the universe. "The numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," he said. "The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."

He also took a jab at religion, saying, "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

In 2007, Hawking became the first quadriplegic to float in zero-gravity when he took a flight in a NASA aircraft used to train astronauts. When asked why he was taking the flight, he said, "First of all, I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster such as sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or other dangers. I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space. I therefore want to encourage public interest in space."

Hawking - or his animated lookalike -- appeared on numerous television shows, including "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," "The Big Bang Theory," and "Dilbert." In some instances he appeared as himself, while in others animated characters were created to resemble him.

A 2014 biopic, "The Theory of Everything," examined the courtship, marriage and eventual separation of Hawking and his first wife, Jane. The movie, which was directed by James Marsh, starred British actor Eddie Redmayne as the famous physicist.

In order to communicate, Hawking used a computer system attached to his wheelchair. He used a switch to select words printed on a screen, and as he formed sentences they were sent to a speech synthesizer.

His accent was described as Scandinavian, American, or Scottish. Hawking began using the voice synthesizer in 1985, when he contracted pneumonia and had an emergency tracheotomy.
